Learning Outcomes

• Master Advanced Mechanical Ventilation Techniques – Optimize ventilator settings, apply lung-protective strategies, and troubleshoot complex respiratory conditions, including ARDS, COPD, and obesity-related ventilation challenges.
• Implement Personalized Ventilation Strategies – Utilize advanced modes such as APRV, dual ventilation, HFOV, and proportional assist ventilation (PAV+) to improve patient outcomes.
• Manage Weaning and Extubation – Assess readiness for weaning, conduct spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs), and apply post-extubation support strategies including NIV and HFNC.
• Enhance Proficiency in ECMO Management – Perform ECMO circuit setup, cannulation, anticoagulation management, and weaning protocols for both VV and VA ECMO in critically ill patients.
• Troubleshoot Ventilation and ECMO-Related Complications – Identify and manage asynchronies, ventilator-associated events, ECMO complications, and hypoxemia using real-time decision-making strategies.
• Integrate Point-of-Care Ultrasound in Ventilation – Utilize lung ultrasound and esophageal pressure monitoring to guide mechanical ventilation adjustments and improve personalized care.
